We collaborated with the University of Virginia’s Motivate Lab to implement a value affirmation intervention in NSCC 1010 in fall 2019. We reached over 600 students in over 60 sections of the on-ground course. We continued our collaboration in 2020-21, by developing a virtual version of the intervention. Session participants will role-play a shortened version of the intervention and then see the qualitative data (pre- and post-mindset surveys) and qualitative data (reflection coding results) from our fall 2019 study. We hope our experience will help you consider value interventions in your courses.
